There are ways of being impregnated so that the two children can be born at separate times, there have been reports of it nationally.

I've never said they weren't twins, but twins doesn't always refer to age.

There's more to this than just his personality. The way he pushes himself is more than what Dante would do, and even if they do look alike, there was never an age told, so how can we be for sure that they are the same age?

Now I did say that Vergil must be older, but I never said anything about a huge difference. Like I said, it could be weeks, months, up to a year that he is older. Ask anyone, literally ANYONE, and they'll tell you twins are babies conceived at the same time (or very, very close to it in case of fraternal twins) and born with time span between each baby coming out ranging from minutes to few hours. To call someone twins in modern fiction never ever means they were born with noticeable age difference, you can't have one baby coming out while the other remains in mom for weeks, not without some major third party intervention that puts the second baby at great risk of losing its life, something that was never mentioned in the series and there was never any point to doing it anyway.

If Dante and Vergil were medical anomaly of being twins born so far apart, don't you think someone would have mentioned it by now? That isn't always the case, as there have been people who are twins, and yet have weeks and months apart from them, and they were healthy. Not only that but twin does not always refer to age. It can refer to appearance, personality, etc. They could be twins and not realize, though that does sound outlandish it is possible, as it's been reported before internationally.

Personally I think Vergil's just a year older than Vergil simply because of how he's portrayed. He is slightly taller, even with his hair down, and don't tell me he isn't because I've compared heights, and he also seems to know a lot more, like I said before. It's a possibility that can't just be thrown out the window that maybe, even if it's less than a year, Vergil is older than Dante.
